I WAS The Rank–1 Hero-Chapter 135: Auction House [6]

Who is this bastard?!

I swear to god, if it reaches above 2 billion I will blast this place.

Pressing the bidding button, I placed the bid.

Updated from freewёbnoνel.com.

—Beep Beep.

[Holy! It's bidder 77 with 1.3 billion. Will bidder 15 continue to bid? Bidder 15? You there? Once? Twice? Aaaand—Oh wait! Number 15 has bidded 1.5 billion this time. What will you do now bidder 77?]

"Shit! After this is over I'm definitely going to pay you a visit!" I muttered, clenching my fits.

Regardless of who this was, he knows something. And I won't let him off the hook this easily.

'Calm down,' Sera suggested, 'If you take this to your ego, we will definitely loose. And I don't know what they will do to this child.'

"Fuuuuuu…."

Letting out a long breath, I focused my attention on the stage.

I can still bid only 600 million if I combine mine.

[Bidder 77? Are you still up? Once? Tw—Oh the bidder 77 has bidded 1.7 billion! Ladies and gengle men, today is the day we get to see this fearsom battle like this…]

The auctioneer was constantly yapping his mouth, dramatically stretching his arms as he spoke each words.

[Huh?! Wh-wha! Bidder 15 has raised the bidding value to 2 billion now!]

Son of a bitch! Who the hell is that bastard?!

Now I regret not carrying any more cash.

Seeing me worried, Ruby reacted.

"Hey," Suddenly she tugged my sleeves, and said with a worried tone, "relax, we still got this."

Her worried tone pulled me out to reality.

"Mhm," I nodded in response.

The bidding was still in progress, so there still a chance for me to win this.

I can still go higher as far as 2.5 billion if I include both Ruby and my total cash.

Should I bid way above 2.5? I can mortgage some of my items.

The weapons were not allowed inside the auction house, but you can carry items and artifact with you inside, if it's harmless.

And right now, I have one item in possession which can be sold at high price.

Is it worth the call though?

I looked at the elf girl inside the cage, her tattered clothes, the terror in her eyes, and lastly those sackles.

"Alright," I have made a decision.

Pressing on the call button, I contacted the manager.

Our room was silent, and Ruby too looked at me in confusion, she kept her mouth closed the entire time, as she heard my conversation with the manager.

"Yes, yes." I responded to managers questions, "Bring me the amount, we will do the paper works after the auction."

Before entering in our auction house, I have made an agreement with the manager of this auction house regarding sales of demon parts.

And as for what type demon parts, I have sell them… well, It's a pair of feathers.

A Fallen's feather.

"How much will I get?" I inquired.

And after hearing their respond, my face lit up.

"Alright, thanks." I orders, "you can minimise those amount from this bidding."

—Beep.

I hanged up.

Seeing my face lit up, Ruby let out out a sigh of relief, before asking.

"For how much was it sold for?"

I respond to her, smiling giving her a thumbs up.

"It was more than what you predicted."

"Ah!" her eyes widen, after she spoke calmly, "See, I told you we got this."

Nodding, and entering half of the amount that I have got from them, I pressed the bid button.

—Beep Beep.

…

The moment the girl with pointy ears was unveiled, inside of room number 15, Lucian Ashborn was anxiously tapping his forefinger on the handle of the sofa.

Holding the controller, in one hand, he typed his bidding amount.

—Beep Beep.

The number 15 lit up on the screen, before the auctioneer announced.

[Huh?! Wh-wha! Bidder 15 has raised the bidding value to 2 billion now!]

A smile crept on his face.

Try beating that! He thought with excitement.

Beside Lucian, two guards were standing, as they carefully watching their Lord bid with envy in their eyes.

Lucian Ashborn, the current lord of Ashborne household was a man who had an ego bigger than the Pyrestone kingdom itself.

Turning to one of his guard on his left, he passed an order.

"Find out which noble house was in that room 77."

Ofcource, the privacy of the members in this auction house, was something that prioterizes, but either way Lucian have to find out about them.

Two billion was not a less amount, it's an amount which will take any minor noble class household more than a month to gather.

And spending it on a slave girl was the last thing anyone in their right mind would do.

But here they are spening billions, like that kind of money ment nothing to them.

Narrowing his eyes, Lucian murmured.

"There's no way, a minor noble household will spend that much amount. Unless…"

His gaze shifted to the slave girl, who was tying in a metal shakle.

"...it really was an unknown species."

Exactly, Lucian wasn't aware of this slave girl's real origin, nor he knew anything about them. He just want to buy her for one of his collections.

A collection of rare specimen.

Lucian thought, that this slave girl was some type of experimental byproduct. So, he got excited to buy it, and do his own 'test' on her.

He was willing to spend only 200 million on her, but more than that wasn't worth it for that broken slave.

But he got consumed by his big ego, bidded more than half of the cash he was carrying. His main objective to attend this auction was to purchase the meteorite, and nothing else.

And after bidding 2 billion on her, he seemed satisfied.

"Theres no way someone here had more than 4 billion."

The auctioneer continued.

[If there is no one going above 2 billion, then—I conclude todays auction. Cong—]

The screen lit up infront of the auctioneer. On it the next bidding amount was displayed clearly for him to read.

For a moment, he doesn't believe his eyes. Blinking sever times. He hesitantly announced.

[B-Bidder number 77, bidding amount 5 billion!]

"What?!" Lucian shot up from his sofa, his eyes weawering on the screen above the stage with clear amount written on it.

Number - 77

Amount - 5,000,000,000

[Does any one want to go beyond 5 billion!]

Silence befall the hall.

One minute passed.

No one responded.

[Once? Twice? Congratulation to bidder 77! Sold for 5 billion! Ladies and gentle men, a rond of applause.]

Lucian was in shock, as he began counting number of zeroes on the screen.

"F-Five billion!" He repeated.

He was certain that no one here had more money than him. He was now seeing his ego crumbling slowly before his eyes.

Frustration gripped his soul, as he coldly ordered his guards.

"Find out who that number 77 is, at all cost."

He continued.

"Don't let them escape this place."

"As you wish Lord Ashborn!" Both the guards saluted, before they left the room.

Lucian stood their, staring to the slave girl from the glass window.

"I will have you in my collection."
